Accessible medium-bodied dry pilsner with long lasting head, delectable citric zest, and lingered mineral graining. Fresh water cleansing seeps into gentle barleymalt sweetness and mild grassy hop bitterness. A fine middle of the road alternative to Bud-Coors-Miller slumming.

GENOVA CERVEZA
Found no info ’bout dull lightweight Paraguayan pilsner (except Brooklyn’s Northeast Beverages were importers). Crystal clean mountain water picks up sweet cocoa malting and doughy reminder, but phenol hop acridity and soapy Eastern Euro finish disrupt minor grapefruit splurge.
LABATT BLUE PILSENER
Great White North’s 5% alcohol version stronger and more pungent than bland, watery American teaser. Uncomplicated blend of sweet doughy malting and slightest hop bitterness round out soapy metallic mainstream product. Don’t let lightweight pilsner labeling fool you into believing it lacks robustness, though.
ABITA 20TH ANNIVERSARY PILSNER
CHUNG HUA PILSENER
Pleasant barley sweetness lingers through aromatic crystal malting and mild dry hop pungency. Watered down cream soda flow enjoins crystalline butterscotch finish of snuggly medium body.
GILDE PILSENER
IMPERIAL CERVEJA VIVA
Musty-scented pale yellow pilsner overlays softest grain whiskey assurance with peppery hop fizz and sharp carbonation for light-bodied dearth. Diacetyl butterscotch nuance plagued by harsh phenolic bluster.
(NEW CENTURY) EDISON LIGHT PILSNER
PILSENER OF EL SALVADOR
Plain, simple pilsener with moderate barley sweetness, understated grain-hopped bitterness, and tart peach-grapefruit mist hidden below overwhelming carbonation. Zesty citrus pep deadened by swill water flow that puts it too close to cheap American macrobrews such as Schmidt’s and Black Label. Hopefully, you’ll think it’s a tad closer to Red Stripe upon further inspection.
SAMUEL ADAMS LIGHT PILSNER
SUPREMA PREMIUM PILSNER
Bread-like yeast aroma stinks up room quickly as cereal grain, fresh maize, and dainty citric-floral hops pep up fizzy severity. Watery pilsner substitutes usual agavi-tequila subtleties most South American brews endure for caramelized honey nut caress and rice-like Asian template (reminiscent of Tsingtao).
